Check out this new bold and colorful collection from the custom murals designers Rebel Wall.

Rebel Walls hails from Sweden and wants to revolutionize the way we look at our walls.

Here is what they say about their designs and brand:

“Being a rebel is not an end in itself but rather a must. When you wish something that do not yet exist, you create it yourself.”

“Rebel Walls thinks outside the box – from the first stroke of creation to social responsibility. We give you the tools to change your surroundings on your terms. For each unique wallpaper created, Rebel Walls donates money to Habitat for Humanity to help people build their own homes. ”

The Heimtextil fair is a well established event and the largest of its kind when it comes to wallpaper, wallcoverings and new printing technologies.

It is an exciting and busy show where the wallpaper world collides. Contrary to Maison & Objet, Heimtextil is not aimed at end users but professionals. This is a really unique chance to check the temperature and the new trends.

The site in itself is huge and WALPA had the difficult task to make the most out of single day we had on the ground.

Here is a short recap’ (are not included spoilers, new brands and new designs that still have to go public).

Expect a lot of exciting things popping up soon in WALPA.

The deceivingly small looking entrance:

Graham & Brown stylish booth is the perfect example of what a booth should look like.

Not too large, welcoming and easy to navigate through.

It is not overwhelming and let you breathe. Each design has its space and is a pleasure to look at.

Below are some new designs that we cannot wait to see in Japan. The Star Wars collection is a sure hit.

Moving on to the German wallpaper giants Rasch.

11 new exciting collections introduced in a booth the size of a convenient store.

Impressive, bold and yet stylish.

Accent has been put on the textures and it shows on the multiple skin designs available.

My favorite is the “Banana Leaf” wallpaper which is a different take on the classic Martinique Wallpaper. The realistic feel adds a new dimension to a timeless pattern.

We have found a bunch of interesting collections and will keep you posted.

I just wanted to remind you today of this incredible wallpaper series from NLXL and Arthur Slenk.

This collection adds not only pattern but texture, patina and a sense of history to the wall.

The creative process in itself has been painstakingly long. It all started about 20 years ago when Arthur found a box of discarded handwritten sheet music and immediately felt in love with inks stains and paper texture.

Arthur decided to deconstruct, cut them to pieces and finally rearrange them in new patterns.

The result is a wallpaper nothing short of amazing and challenging. This is definitely not your standard wallpaper but it has a strong personality and uniqueness.

I would recommend this series to music connoisseurs with a strong taste for all things vintage.

This wallpaper tells a story and will bring you in a world of texture, stains and ink.

Check this awesome collection out and if you are in Japan come and check the real thing in person at WALPA.
